That's not even news.  I would be surprised if they didn't endorse Q

"the demand for lies exceeds supply" is about the best summation of what seems to me to be the driving force in current republican politics that i've seen.

That’s definitely what the bigger picture is. See also the degradation of Fox approval among R’s. The demand for lies exceeds supply for many of these people. Idk what to do about that.

Political parties aren't some sort of moral barometers for the country. They are there to make money. Got people that will fork it over? Take advantage.

See churches and NRA.

Democrats: "We got rid of Trump by electing an ostensibly moderate Democrat, but the cost could be an ugly struggle between progressives and moderates for the soul of the party."

Republicans: "Wow, that's really interesting. Hold my beer a minute will ya?"

TBF, the republicans attempt to move to populism got tied to nationalism so that made it an untenable position. The dems    ultimately nothing will change. Eventually the nationalist wing of the republicans will lose steam and interest, and the progressives will continue to spin their wheels within the democratic party. The establishment of both parties have incentives for colluding to maintain the status quo. Change gets gridlocked and republicans and suburban democrats get to stay comfortable. Win win, right

the non-"establishment" wings of each party are (at best) somewhere between actual idiots and dangerously ignorant, so yes, that would be the best option, although i think the republicans are too far gone.

i'm not rooting for these people and i don't think you should either.

Ignorant idiots, how dare anyone challenge the status quo, it seems to be working out so well. Congratulations, sys.

The fact that you think it’s working out so terribly is quite ignorant.

I hear MAH-guh, which matches what I've always thought and said in my head.

[steve dave]

mine has always been MA (like MAn) and GA (like GUm)

I obviously can't do the sounds and explainers for crap but hopefully that makes sense
